Previously, her team had updated that she was being safely brought back home.
"We have finally managed to get in touch with Nushrratt and with the help of the Embassy, she is being safely brought back home. We did not get a direct flight so she is on a connecting flight home. For her further safety, more details cannot be shared but as soon as she lands in India, we will inform you. We are relieved and thank god that she is safe and on her way to India, as quoted by Sanchita Trivedi, Nushrratt's publicist.
Talking about the conflict, around 6:30 am (local time), on Saturday, a barrage of rocket fire began from Gaza into Israel, hit several cities including Tel Aviv, Rehovot, Gedera and Ashkelon.
This was followed by several Hamas terrorists entering Israel from the Gaza Strip and taking over Israeli towns.
Hamas military commander Muhammad Al-Deif called the operation "Al-Aqsa Flood" and said that the assault on Israel was a response to attacks on women, the desecration of the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, and the ongoing siege of Gaza.
The death toll from the Hamas terror group's multi-front attack on Israel soared past 300 on Sunday and is expected to rise further.
As many as 1,590 people have been wounded, many seriously, according to reports.
Coming back to Nushrratt, she was recently seen in the film 'Akeli', which was released last month. The film is about an Indian woman, who is stranded in war-torn Iraq, and depicts her struggle for survival against all odds.
'Akelli' is helmed by Pranay Meshram, who previously worked as an associate director for various projects.
The film is produced by Dashami Studioz' Nitin Vaidya, Ninad Vaidya, and Aparna Padgaonkar along with Vicky Sidana and Shashant Shah.
